AN OPEN THANK YOU MESSAGE TO SENATOR GODSWILL AKPABIO

“I write you this open Thank You Message to acknowledge what God has used you to do in my life.

“For months and years back, I had been battling with stage 3 Kidney failure. It got to a point where my resources failed me and I almost gave up. This was when friends activated an online campaign to rally funding support for me to undergo a comprehensive medical procedure.

“Through providence, you intervened to bear the burden of what it will financially take to give me hope for a new life. You sent a contact to ask me to immediately move to a medical facility where you had originally deposited N8million. You gave orders that my treatment is commenced immediately.

“After a series of medical examinations, it was established I need a Kidney transplant to survive and you actionably ordered the procedure to advance to a conclusion. You bore the financial burden, having expended over N25million to ensure the operation was successful.

“I was moved to tears when you spoke with me a day before the operation and prayed for me for a successful outcome.

“Today, I have come out victorious.

“What you have done is not strange to many who in one way or the other have been impacted by your humanity.

“I will fail in my conclusion of this message if I do not mention the contribution of your adorable wife, Her Excellency, Mrs. Unoma Akpabio. She acted swiftly on the day I was scheduled for operation by contacting me to ensure I am ready for the procedure. What she did marvel me. Thank you Eka Esit Mbom

“I use this opportunity to say thank you Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“God will continue to empower you with greater privileged opportunities to offer selfless service to humanity.

I am grateful.

God bless you.
